“…The Pd/Pt ratio can serve as one of the important parameters by which one can evaluate the similarity or differences of PGE deposits, as well as the specifics of their formation conditions. As for the PGE deposits of the Kola Belt, two groups of deposits are distinguished by the Pd/Pt ratio [74].…”

“…Almost always, these are horizons among (or at the boundary) sequences of leucogabbro (leucogabbronorites) and anorthosites, often with the presence of olivine rocks (troctolites, olivine gabbronorites and harzburgites). Levels with high Pd/Pt ratios, as a rule, are located in the lower parts of the section, often in the so-called "marginal series" (Volchetundra and Fedorova massifs) [74].…”

The East Pana intrusion is a part of the Paleoproterozoic Fedorova–Pana complex (FPC), which belongs to the group of Fennoscandian layered mafic–ultramafic massifs. This article discusses the magmatic stratification of the East Pana intrusion, as well as Cu-Ni and platinum-group elements (PGE) mineralization (PGE zones A, B and C) in its various parts with a total length of more than 20 km, including the East Chuarvy PGE deposit. Based on the whole-rock data on the distribution of major, trace, and ore-forming elements, it is assumed that PGE zone A belongs to the main ore–magmatic system of the FPC, while PGE zones B and C belong to the minor ore–magmatic systems. At the same time, additional magmatic injection played an important role in the formation of economic Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization (PGE zone B), characterized by high PGE concentrations and moderate palladium enrichment. On the normalized distribution spectra of trace elements, the crystallization products of this injection (Gabbronorite Zone 2) have a positive Zr-Hf anomaly, which distinguishes it from host rocks with an anomaly of the opposite sign (Gabbronorite Zone 1, Gabbro Zone). It is assumed that this portion of magma was intruded as a sill of crystal mush, the fractionation of which at depth led to its enrichment with residual liquid.

Research subject. Platinum–metal objects of the Kola region (contact type mineralization), including the Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence within the same-name massif belonging to the Early Proterozoic Monchetundra intrusion and the Fedorova Tundra deposit located in the western part of the Early Proterozoic Fedorovo-Pansky layered complex. Aim. To establish the formation conditions of platinum-metal ores in the Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence and the Fedorova Tundra deposit. Methods. Comparison of the geological structure and petro-geochemical features of rocks and ores from the two objects using statistical analysis. Results. Both the Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence and the Fedorova Tundra deposit belong to the contact type of platinum group element deposits. The main characteristic feature is confinement of the ore zone to the contact of two magmatic phases. In the contact zone, igneous breccia, pegmatoid, and vein bodies are widespread, with the latter being especially common in the Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence. In Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence, breccia fragments are represented by orthopyroxenites and melanocratic norites of the early magmatic phase (layered series of rocks). They were cemented by barren gabbroids of the later magmatic phase. In the Fedorova Tundra deposit, breccia zone fragments are also composed of orthopyroxenites and melanocratic norites of the early magmatic phase (layered series of rocks). They were cemented by taxitic ore-bearing gabbronorites of the late magmatic phase. Rocks of the two objects with a similar nomenclature demonstrate slight systematic differences in the composition of petrogenic components, as well as in REE and rare elements. Taxitic gabbronorites (rocks of the marginal series) from the Fedorova Tundra deposit have no rock analogues in Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence. A comparison of similar amounts of two data sets (more than 2000 samples each) of Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, and Cu sampling showed that the content of all precious metals in the Fedorova Tundra deposit was consistently higher than that in the Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence. The Fedorova Tundra deposit is homogeneous, with an average Pd/Pt ratio of 4.5. The Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence is heterogeneous and, on average, slightly more ‘platinum’ and less ‘palladium’ than the Fedorova Tundra deposit. Conclusions. The two ore objects of the contact type are similar in many respects, mainly differing in the conditions of mineralization formation. The Yuzhnosopchinskoye ore occurrence entered the contact zone from the rocks of the layered series due to the activation of the ore matter during intrusion of the late gabbroid intrusive phase. The Fedorova Tundra deposit entered the contact zone together with the late ore-bearing gabbronorite magmatic phase.
